Donald Trump Gives Powerful Address on Immigration Policy

In a major speech in Arizona this Wednesday, August 31, Donald Trump gave a powerful argument for his ten point plan to address the illegal immigration nightmare in our country. Together with him on the stage were a number of “Angel Moms” who testified that they had loved ones killed needlessly because of the irresponsible immigration policies now in place. Donald Trump’s ten point plan, with some of his related comments:
“Number One: We will build a wall along the Southern Border.Number Two: End Catch-And-Release: Anyone who illegally crosses the border will be detained until they are removed out of our country.Number Three: Zero tolerance for criminal aliens: According to federal data, there are at least 2 million criminal aliens now inside the country. We will begin moving them out day one, in joint operations with local, state and federal law enforcement.Number Four: Block Funding For Sanctuary Cities: We will end the Sanctuary Cities that have resulted in so many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollarsNumber Five: Cancel Unconstitutional Executive Orders & Enforce All Immigration Laws: We will immediately terminate President Obama’s two illegal executive amnesties, in which he defied federal law and the constitution to give amnesty to approximately 5 million illegal immigrants.
Hillary Clinton has pledged to keep both of these illegal amnesty programs – including the 2014 amnesty which has been blocked by the Supreme Court. Clinton has also pledged to add a third executive amnesty. Clinton’s plan would trigger a Constitutional Crisis unlike almost anything we have ever seen before. In effect, she would be abolishing the lawmaking powers of Congress in order to write her own laws from the Oval Office.Number Six: We Are Going To Suspend The Issuance Of Visas To Any Place Where Adequate Screening Cannot Occur: According to data provided to the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, between 9/11 and the end of 2014, at least 380 foreign-born individuals were convicted in terror cases inside the United States. The number is likely higher, but the Administration refuses to provide this information to Congress.Number Seven: We will ensure that other countries take their people back when we order them deportedNumber Eight: We will finally complete the biometric entry-exit visa tracking system: For years, Congress has required a biometric entry-exit visa tracking system, but it has never been completed: In my Administration, we will ensure that this system is in place at all land, air, and sea ports. Approximately half of new illegal immigrants came on temporary visas and then never left. Beyond violating our laws, visa overstays pose a substantial threat to national security.Number Nine: We will turn off the jobs and benefits magnet: We will ensure that E-Verify is used to the fullest extent possible under existing law, and will work with Congress to strengthen and expand its use across the country… I will enforce all of our immigration laws.Number Ten: We will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers.”
Some final comments included: “These ten steps, if rigorously followed and enforced, will accomplish more in a matter of months than our politicians have accomplished on this issue in the last fifty years. Because I am not a politician, because I am not beholden to any special interest, I will get this done for you and your family. We will accomplish all of the steps outlined above, and when we do, peace and law and justice and prosperity will prevail. Crime will go down, border crossings will plummet, gangs will disappear, and welfare use will decrease. We will have a peace dividend to spend on rebuilding America, beginning with our inner cities…
We will break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration. There will be no amnesty. Our message to the world will be this: you cannot obtain legal status, or become a citizen of the United States, by illegally entering our country. This declaration alone will help stop the crisis of illegal crossings and illegal overstays…Whether it’s dangerous materials being smuggled across the border, terrorists entering on visas, or Americans losing their jobs to foreign workers, these are the problems we must now focus on fixing – and the media needs to begin demanding to hear Hillary Clinton’s answer on how her policies will affect Americans and their security. These are matters of life-and-death for our country and its people, and we deserve answers from Hillary Clinton. What we do know, despite the total lack of media curiosity, is that Hillary Clinton promises a radical amnesty combined with a radical reduction in immigration enforcement. The result will be millions more illegal immigrants, thousands more violent crimes, and total chaos and lawlessness.This election is our last chance to secure the border, stop illegal immigration, and reform our laws to make your life better. This is it. We won’t get another opportunity – it will be too late. So I want to remind everyone what we are fighting for – and who we are fighting for.”
